Nelson Scores Victory in Placing al Manar on Global Terrorist List

Senator Bill Nelson (D-FL) last week succeeded in his effort to persuade the Bush Administration's Treasury Department to place al-Manar -- a television station owned by the Hizballah terrorist network -- on the Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT) list. Last August, Sen. Nelson took the lead role in a Senate letter urging George W. Bush to include al-Manar on the list; in October, the Senate passed an amendment -- sponsored by Senator Nelson -- declaring the urgent need for action on this important issue.
